Abstract
Food safety remains a significant global public health concern, with the risk of unsafe food varying worldwide. The economies of several low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) heavily rely on livestock, posing a challenge to ensuring the production of safe food. This review discusses our understanding of pre-harvest critical issues related to food safety in LMICs, specifically focusing on animal-derived food. In LMICs, food safety regulations are weak and inadequately enforced, primarily concentrating on the formal market despite a substantial portion of the food sector being dominated by informal markets. Key critical issues at the farm level include animal health, a low level of good agriculture practices, and the misuse of antimicrobials. Effectively addressing foodborne diseases requires a comprehensive One Health framework. Unfortunately, the application of the One Health approach to tackle food safety issues is notably limited in LMICs. In conclusion, considering that most animal-source foods from LMICs are marketed through informal channels, food safety legislation and policies need to account for this context. Interventions aimed at reducing foodborne bacterial pathogens at the farm level should be scalable, and there should be strong advocacy for the proper implementation of pre-harvest interventions through a One Health approach.

Abstract
The mechanism of colonisation of the chicken intestine by Salmonella remains poorly understood, while the severity of infections vary enormously depending on the serovar and the age of the bird. Several metabolism and virulence genes have been identified in Salmonella Heidelberg; however, information on their roles in infection, particularly in the chicken infection model, remains scarce. In the present publication, we investigated three Salmonella Heidelberg mutants containing deletions in misL, ssa, and pta-ackA genes by using signature-tagged mutagenesis. We found that mutations in these genes of S. Heidelberg result in an increase in fitness in the chicken model. The exception was perhaps the pta-ackA mutant where colonisation was slightly reduced (2, 7, 14, and 21 days post-infection) although some birds were still excreting at the end of the experiment. Our results suggest that for intestinal colonisation of the chicken caecum, substrate-level phosphorylation is likely to be more important than the MisL outer membrane protein or even the secretion system apparatus. These findings validate previous work that demonstrated the contribution of ackA and pta mutants to virulence in chickens, suggesting that the anaerobic metabolism genes such as pta-ackA could be a promising mitigation strategy to reduce S. Heidelberg virulence.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance in Citrobacter freundii is a public health concern. This study evaluated the closed genome of a C. freundii isolated from the stool of a hospitalized patient initially related to a Salmonella outbreak. Confirmation of the isolate was determined by whole-genome sequencing. Nanopore sequencing was performed using a MinION with a Flongle flow cell. Assembly using SPAdes and Unicycler yielded a closed genome annotated by National Center for Biotechnology Information Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline. Genomic analyses employed MLST 2.0, ResFinder4.1, PlasmidFinder2.1, and VFanalyzer. Phylogenetic comparison utilized the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN)-single nucleotide polymorphism pipeline and Genetic Algorithm for Rapid Likelihood Inference. Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested by broth microdilution following Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute criteria. Multi-locus sequence type in silico analysis assigned the C. freundii as sequence type 64 and the blaCMY-41 gene was detected in resistome investigation. The susceptibility to antibiotics, determined using Sensititre® plates, revealed resistance to aztreonam, colistin, cefoxitin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, sulfisoxazole, ampicillin, and streptomycin. The genetic relatedness of the C. freundii CFSAN077772 with publicly available C. freundii genomes revealed a close relationship to a C. freundii SRR1186659, isolated in 2009 from human stool in Tanzania. In addition, C. freundii CFSAN077772 is nested in the same cluster with C. freundii clinical strains isolated in Denmark, Mexico, Myanmar, and Canada, suggesting a successful intercontinental spread.

Abstract
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is an important pathogen with public health implications, including its potential association with vegetables. In this study, we investigated the presence of STEC in vegetables obtained from organic producers located in São Paulo city, Brazil. As part of a routine surveillance study conducted over (years of isolation), a total of 200 samples of organic vegetables were screened using biochemical and PCR methods. Among the vegetable samples tested, 30 (15%) were positive for non-Shiga toxin-producing E. coli. While no STEC was detected in the organic vegetables in this study, the presence of non-STEC in vegetables raises concerns about the lack of proper hygiene practices during vegetable handling. This contamination represents a public health risk, particularly considering that these isolates can still be pathogenic, and vegetables are often consumed raw. To address this important issue, continuous monitoring of these farms is recommended to ensure the quality and safety of organic vegetables produced for both domestic consumption and exportation.

Abstract
The global dissemination of extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli has been considered a critical issue within a One Health framework. The aim of this study was to perform a genomic investigation of an ESBL-producing E. coli strain belonging to the globally spread sequence type/clonal complex ST90/CC23, isolated from gastrointestinal tract of a dog, in Brazil. Besides CTX-M-15 ESBL, this E. coli isolate carried mutations conferring resistance to human and veterinary fluoroquinolones (GyrA [Ser83Leu, Asp87Asn], ParC [Ser80Ile] and ParE [Ser458Ala]), and resistance determinants to disinfectants and pesticides. Noteworthy, phylogenomic analysis revealed that this multidrug E. coli strain clustered with ST90 lineages isolated from human, dog, and livestock in Brazil. The phylogenetic tree also revealed that this E. coli strain shares a common ancestor with isolates from the United States, Russia, Germany, and China, highlighting the potential global spreading of this clone. In summary, we report genomic data of CTX-M-15-positive E.coli ST90 colonizing a pet. Colonization of companion animals by critical resistant pathogens highlights the need for close monitoring to better understand the epidemiology and genetic factors contributing for successful adaptation of global clones at the human-animal interface.

Abstract
Salmonella spp. is one of the major foodborne pathogens responsible for causing economic losses to the poultry industry and bringing consequences for public health as well. Both the pathogen survival ability in the intestinal environment during inflammation as well as their relationship with the host immune system, play a key role during infections in poultry. The objective of this study was to quantify the presence of the macrophages and CD4+/CD8+ cells populations using the immunohistochemistry technique, in commercial lineages of chickens experimentally infected by wild-type and mutant strains of Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium lacking ttrA and pduA genes. Salmonella Enteritidis ∆ttrA∆pduA triggered a higher percentage of the stained area than the wild-type, with exception of light laying hens. Salmonella Typhimurium wild-type strain and Salmonella Typhimurium ∆ttrA∆pduA infections lead to a similar pattern in which, at 1 and 14 dpi, the caecal tonsils and ileum of birds showed a more expressive stained area compared to 3 and 7 dpi. In all lineages studied, prominent infiltration of macrophages in comparison with CD4+ and CD8+ cells was observed. Overall, animals infected by the mutant strain displayed a positively stained area higher than the wild-type. Deletions in both ttrA and pduA genes resulted in a more intense infiltration of macrophages and CD4+ and CD8+ cells in the host birds, suggesting no pathogen attenuation, even in different strains of Salmonella.

Abstract
Among the important recent observations involving anaerobic respiration was that an electron acceptor produced as a result of an inflammatory response to Salmonella Typhimurium generates a growth advantage over the competing microbiota in the lumen. In this regard, anaerobically, salmonellae can oxidize thiosulphate (S2O32-) converting it into tetrathionate (S4O62-), the process by which it is encoded by ttr gene cluster (ttrSRttrBCA). Another important pathway under aerobic or anaerobic conditions is the 1,2-propanediol-utilization mediated by the pdu gene cluster that promotes Salmonella expansion during colitis. Therefore, we sought to compare in this study, whether Salmonella Heidelberg strains lacking the ttrA, ttrApduA, and ttrACBSR genes experience a disadvantage during cecal colonization in broiler chicks. In contrast to expectations, we found that the gene loss in S. Heidelberg potentially confers an increase in fitness in the chicken infection model. These data argue that S. Heidelberg may trigger an alternative pathway involving the use of an alternative electron acceptor, conferring a growth advantage for S. Heidelberg in chicks.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant staphylococci have become leading cause of infectious diseases in humans and animals, being categorized as high priority pathogens by the World Health Organization. Although methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus sciuri (recently moved to Mammaliicoccus sciuri) has been widely reported in companion animals, there is scarce information regarding their clinical impact and genomic features. Herein, we reported the occurrence and genomic characteristics of methicillin-resistant M. sciuri recovered from fatal infections in pets admitted to an intensive care unit of a veterinary hospital, in Brazil. Two M. sciuri strains were isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage samples collected from dog (strain SS01) and cat (strain SS02) presenting with sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Both isolates displayed a multidrug-resistant profile, whereas whole-genome sequencing analysis confirmed the presence of the mecA gene, along to genetic determinant conferring resistance to macrolides, streptogramins, aminoglycosides, and trimethoprim. For both strains, the mec and crr gene complex shared high identity (≥97%) with analogue sequences from a M. sciuri isolated from a human wound infection, in the Czech Republic. Strains were assigned to the sequence type ST52 and the novel ST74. Phylogenomic analysis revealed a broad host range association of these strains with several hosts and sources, including humans, animals, food, and the environment through different years and geographic locations. Our findings demonstrate that infections caused by mecA-positive M. sciuri strains can be a serious threat for veterinary intensive care patients and the medical staff, with additional implications for One Health approaches.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Heidelberg has been associated with a broad host range, such as poultry, dairy calves, swine, wild birds, environment, and humans. The continuous evolution of S. Heidelberg raises a public health concern since there is a global dispersal of lineages harboring a wide resistome and virulome on a global scale. Here, we characterized the resistome, phylogenetic structure and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) array composition of 81 S. Heidelberg strains isolated from broiler farms (n = 16), transport and lairage (n = 5), slaughterhouse (n = 22), and retail market (n = 38) of the poultry production chain in Brazil, between 2015 and 2016 using high-resolution approaches including whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and WGS-derived CRISPR genotyping. More than 91% of the S. Heidelberg strains were multidrug-resistant. The total antimicrobial resistance (AMR) gene abundances did not vary significantly across regions and sources suggesting the widespread distribution of antibiotic-resistant strains from farm to market. The highest AMR gene abundance was observed for fosA7, aac(6′)-Iaa, sul2, tet(A), gyrA, and parC for 100% of the isolates, followed by 88.8% for blaCMY–2. The β-lactam resistance was essentially driven by the presence of the plasmid-mediated AmpC (pAmpC) blaCMY–2 gene, given the isolates which did not carry this gene were susceptible to cefoxitin (FOX). Most S. Heidelberg strains were classified within international lineages, which were phylogenetically nested with Salmonella strains from European countries; while CRISPR genotyping analysis revealed that the spacer content was overall highly conserved, but distributed into 13 distinct groups. In summary, our findings underscore the potential role of S. Heidelberg as a key pathogen disseminated from farm to fork in Brazil and reinforce the importance of CRISPR-based genotyping for salmonellae. Hence, we emphasized the need for continuous mitigation programs to monitor the dissemination of this high-priority pathogen.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) in poultry is most often transmitted by the fecal-oral route, which can be attributed to high population density. Upon encountering the innate immune response in a host, the pathogen triggers a stress response and virulence factors to help it survive in the host. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hypromellose acetate/succinate (HPMCAS)-coated alginate microparticles containing the Ctx(Ile21)-Ha antimicrobial peptide (AMP) on both intestinal colonization and systemic infection of laying hens challenged with S. Enteritidis. The applied AMP microsystem reduced the bacterial load of S. Enteritidis in the liver, with a statistical significance between groups A (control, no Ctx(Ile21)-Ha peptide) and B (2.5 mg of Ctx(Ile21)-Ha/kg) at 2 days postinfection (dpi), potentially indicating the effectiveness of Ctx(Ile21)-Ha in the first stage of infection by S. Enteritidis. In addition, the results showed a significant decrease in the S. Enteritidis counts in the spleen and cecal content at 5 dpi; remarkably, no S. Enteritidis counts were observed in livers at 5, 7, and 14 dpi, regardless of the Ctx(Ile21)-Ha dosage (p-value <0.0001). Using the Chi-square test, the effect of AMP microparticles on S. Enteritidis fecal excretion was also evaluated, and a significantly lower bacterial excretion was observed over 21 days in groups B and C, in comparison with the untreated control (p-value <0.05). In summary, the use of HPMCAS-Ctx(Ile21)-Ha peptide microcapsules in laying hens drastically reduced the systemic infection of S. Enteritidis, mainly in the liver, indicating a potential for application as a feed additive against this pathogen.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovars use self-induced intestinal inflammation to increase electron acceptor availability and to obtain a growth advantage in the host gut. There is evidence suggesting that the ability of Salmonella to use tetrathionate and 1,2-propanediol provides an advantage in murine infection. Thus, we present here the first study to evaluate both systemic infection and faecal excretion in commercial poultry challenged by Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) and S. Typhimurium (STM) harbouring deletions in ttrA and pduA genes, which are crucial to the metabolism of tetrathionate and 1,2-propanediol, respectively. Mutant strains were excreted at higher rates when compared to the wild-type strains. The highest rates were observed with white egg-layer and brown egg-layer chicks (67.5%), and broiler chicks (56.7%) challenged by SEΔttrAΔpduA, and brown egg-layer chicks (64.8%) challenged by STMΔttrAΔpduA. SEΔttrAΔpduA presented higher bacterial counts in the liver and spleen of the three chicken lineages and caecal contents from the broiler chickens, whereas STMΔttrAΔpduA presented higher counts in the liver and spleen of the broiler and brown-egg chickens for 28 days post-infection (P < 0.05). The ttrA and pduA genes do not appear to be major virulence determinants in faecal excretion or invasiveness for SE and STM in chickens. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTSttrA and pudA do not impair gut colonization or systemic infection in chicks.Mutant strains were present in higher numbers in broilers than in laying chicks.Mutants of SE and STM showed greater pathogenicity in broiler chicks than layers.

Abstract
A multidrug-resistant CTX-M-15-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KpP1 strain) was isolated from a native Amazonian fish (Brachyplatystoma filamentosum) at the Brazilian Amazon. The strain was identified by MALDI-TOF. The genome was extracted, purified and a Nextera DNA Flex library was prepared and sequenced by Illumina platform. The sequenced genome was de novo assembled using Unicycler and in silico prediction accomplished by curated bioinformatics tools. The size of the genome is 5.6 Mb with 5715 genes. Whole-genome sequencing analysis revealed the presence of wide resistome, with genes conferring resistance to clinically relevant antibiotics, heavy metals and disinfectants. The KpP1 strain was assigned to the sequence type ST3827, KL111 (wzi113) and O3b locus. Native freshwater fish sold in wet markets of the Amazonian region could be an important vehicle for transmission of multidrug-resistant bacteria to humans. This study may give genomic insights on the spread of critical-priority WHO pathogens in a One Health context. A multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated from a native Amazonian fish. Genomic analysis revealed that K. pneumoniae belonged to ST3827, KL111 and O3b locus. A wide resistome against heavy metals, disinfectants, and relevant antibiotics was predicted. ESBL production was associated with the blaCTX-M-15 gene carried on an IncFII(K) plasmid. Native freshwater fishes could be a vehicle for transmission of critical-priority pathogens.

Abstract
For decades, Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Enteritidis have prevailed in several countries as agents of salmonellosis outbreaks. In Brazil, the largest exporter of poultry meat, relatively little attention has been paid to infrequent serovars. Here, we report the emergence and characterization of rare serovars isolated from food and related sources collected between 2014 and 2016 in Brazil. Twenty-two Salmonella enterica isolates were analyzed through the use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) genotyping. These isolates were classified into 10 infrequent serovars, including S. Abony, S. Isangi, S. Rochdale, S. Saphra, S. Orion, S. Ouakam, S. Grumpensis, S. Carrau, S. Abaetetuba, and S. Idikan. The presence of six antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, qnrB19, blaCMY-2, tetA, aac(6')-Iaa, sul2 and fosA7, which encode resistance to quinolones, third-generation cephalosporin, tetracycline, aminoglycoside, sulfonamide and fosfomycin, respectively, were confirmed by WGS. All S. Isangi harbored qnrB19 with conserved genomic context across strains, while S. Abony harbored blaCMY-2. Twelve (54.5%) strains displayed chromosomal mutations in parC (Thr57→Ser). Most serovars were classified as independent lineages, except S. Abony and S. Abaetetuba, which phylogenetically nested with Salmonella strains from different countries. CRISPR analysis revealed that the spacer content was strongly correlated with serovar and multi-locus sequence type for all strains, independently confirming the observed phylogenetic patterns, and highlighting the value of CRISPR-based genotyping for Salmonella. These findings add valuable information to the epidemiology of S. enterica in Brazil, where the emergency of antibiotic-resistant Salmonella continues to evolve.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae have been increasingly reported worldwide as a frequent cause of human and animal infections. K. pneumoniae belonging to the K24 capsular serotype and sequence type (ST) ST15 has been considered a global successful clone responsible for the spread of the blaCTX-M-15 gene. OBJECTIVE To report the draft genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant CTX-M-15-positive K. pneumoniae K24-ST15 strain (L3KP1), which was isolated from a dog with chronic otitis. METHODS Genomic DNA was extracted and sequenced using Illumina NextSeq platform. De novo assembly was performed by SPAdes and in silico prediction accomplished by curated bioinformatics tools. RESULTS The genome size was calculated at 5 642 348 bp, with a GC content of 57.11%, and comprising 5601 total genes, 52 tRNAs, 8 rRNAs, 9 ncRNAs and 105 pseudogenes. The K. pneumoniae L3KP1 strain belonged to ST15 and carried the yersiniabactin biosynthetic gene cluster [ybt 10 (YbST28) in the integrative conjugative element ICEKp4], and the KL24 locus encoding capsular serotype K24. Besides the blaCTX-M-15 ESBL gene, other clinically important resistance genes to β-lactams, aminoglycosides, fosfomycin, macrolides, phenicol, quinolones, sulfonamides, tetracyclines and trimethoprim were detected. Additionally, heavy metals and disinfectant resistance genes were also identified. CONCLUSION This draft genome might be useful for comparative genomic analyses of the international clone of K. pneumoniae K24-ST15-CTX-M-15. In addition, information presented in this study also shed light on the urgent need to monitor ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae in veterinary hospitals.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica isolates from human outbreaks or from poultry origin were investigated for their ability to develop direct-tolerance or cross-tolerance to sodium chloride, potassium chloride, lactic acid, acetic acid, and ciprofloxacin after habituation in subinhibitory amounts ( of the minimum inhibitory concentration - (MIC) and of the minimum inhibitory concentration - MIC) of Origanum vulgare L. essential oil (OVEO) at different time intervals. The habituation of S. enterica to OVEO did not induce direct-tolerance or cross-tolerance in the tested strains, as assessed by the modulation of MIC values. However, cells habituated to OVEO maintained or increased susceptibility to the tested antimicrobials agents, with up to fourfold double dilution decrease from previously determined MIC values. This study reports for the first time the non-inductive effect of OVEO on the acquisition of direct-tolerance or cross-tolerance in multidrug-resistant S. enterica strains to antimicrobial agents that are largely used in food preservation, as well as to CIP, the therapeutic drug of salmonellosis.
